Once the BLACKJACKET™ focusing cloth is attached
to the camera, the photographer inserts his/her head into cavity created
by
its trunk.
With the trunk of the "jacket" draped
over the head and shoulders of the photographer, this innovative dark
cloth blocks out stray light providing an ideal,
darkened environment in which to view the ground glass of a large
format camera. This creative solution goes far beyond previous concepts
by employing "sleeves" which
provide an easy means for the photographer to insert his/her hands into
the darkened environment to access camera controls and/or check
focus, and still maintain total darkness.

Our best seller! Most photographers choose
the breatheable HYBRID BLACKJACKET™ for
more comfort.

NEW and IMPROVED! All BLACKJACKET™ focusing cloths ship with the BLACKBAG™ which
does double-duty, serving as an attractive storage sack when the BLACKJACKET™ is
not in use, and more importantly as a solution to the most challenging
light leak--caused by the gap beneath the rear standard and base plate
of field cameras (or the two gaps beneath rear standard and either side
of the rail of monorail cameras). Click
here for a close look at this new feature. Early customers seeking
to modify older focusing cloths to use the BLACKBAG™ feature
can obtain directions here.

Backpackers less concerned with comfort and more concerned with shaving
every ounce from their load, choose the ORIGINAL BLACKJACKET™
